Boy, what can I say? It's like double-baked potatoes in a dish. I took this to my sister's on Christmas day and it got rave reviews from all. I baked my potatoes first, then mashed in my mixer, so they were still a little chunky, just how I like 'em. I used fat-free sour cream, and I reduced the garlic powder (personal preference.)

This was pretty good. I used instant mashed potatoes, which I hardly ever use unless we're camping. I think next time I'll use real mashed potatoes as I think the instant makes this a little gummy. The flavor is right on though and that's the point, right?

My husband says that i can fix them again. when asked to rate them 1-5 he says they are eatable...so i said okay will say i won't fix again...he says i didn't say that! very nice recipe even tho i have a husband that won't participate with the ratings of 1-5. Thank you.

Very, very good!! I used freshly made mashed taters. The only change I would do next is reduce the sour cream to 1/2 or 2/3 cup, instead of the 1 cup as instructed (too creamy for us). I used 1 T. dry chives cuz I didn't have any fresh green onions on hand. My family loved it, great flavor!! I would highly recommend! Thank you Dancer^
